-Making a zombie is fairly easy.  We're going to make a zombie called TestZomb with DBREF ```#123```.  Replace TestZomb with your desired zombie name, and ```#123``` with the created object's ref.
+Making a zombie is fairly easy.  We're going to make a zombie called TestZomb with DBREF #123.  Replace TestZomb with your desired zombie name, and #123 with the created object's ref.
 First, create the object.  This will provide you the ref number:
-```
+<code>
 @create TestZomb
-```
+</code>
 Next, set flags on it:
-```
+<code>
 @set testzomb=z
 @set testzomb=x
 @flock testzomb=me
-```
+</code>
-Now, set up your control action.  This is what you type to remote control the zombie, and thus you will want it to be as short as possible.  In this example, I will use 'tz', but you can make it whatever you want.  **Note** Avoid single letters and words that are often used as exit names; out, star, port, and lift for example.  If your remote control command is the same as an exit in the room, you won't be able to use the exit in the room.

-Note the ```#123``` in there; replace with your object reference, including the hash mark.  And of course, replace ```tz``` with whatever command you want to use.  Now, drop your zombie and test it:

-You will be able to see through the zombie's eyes as it walks around; what it sees will be prefixed with its name, such as: ```TestZombie>```

-You can use editplayer with the test zombie, by using ```tz editplayer``` and zombies can use morphs, etc.  Please note I haven't extensively tested this, so there could be some features that don't work right with zombies, but I'm pretty sure most things will work.

 Enjoy and try not to be annoying with these things :)
